y available pitcher to warm up 
ore the game. Hughes’ curved 
ball was breaking fine; Teddy Roose- 
velt was put in to catch for him. 
The game was started. Hughes first 
ick out New York, then Indiana, 
_ Pennsylvania, then Illinois, then 
assachusetts, then New Jersey. At 
‘this stage of the game things were 
very satisfactory for the Republicans. 
_ Finally in the last half of the ninth 
the Democratic party went to bat. 
First up was California. By this time 
ghes, who had been using his 
rved ball steadily throughout the 
ne, began to weaken. California 
a hit, putting her on first. Minne- 
sota came to the bat after California. 
Jimmy Maloney, who was sitting in 
the dug-out with the Democratic club, 
steps out to Minnesota and whispers 
‘something in his ear. As a result, 
Minnesota bunts the ball. Teddy so 
anxious to get it, stumbles and falls 
down, enabling Minnesota to get to 
first. That put two on bases. At this 
point of the game the score was noth- 
ing to nothing—tie game. The 
Democrats needed one to win. 
‘This put Hughes in the air. He 
seemed to lose control. The next 
pitch was a wild one, advancing Cali- 
fornia and Minnesota to third and 
econd. Pat O’Keefe, who was on 
the coaching line, called Secretary 
Tumulty from the bench and they 
had a consultation. The result was 
they put Woodrow in as a pinch hit- 
‘ter. Woody picked up his prosperity 
‘bat as he walked to the plate. Hughes 
called Teddy, who was catching for 
him, out and had a stormy interview 
with him. It was plain to see that 
Hughes wanted to walk Woodroy, 
‘but Teddy showed his teeth and said, 
“No, he is too proud to fight, we wil! 
‘strike him out.” Hughes tried to 
‘slip a slow ball over on Woody; 
Woody met the ball fairly, knocking 
a long fly out in right field. The 
Kaiser, who was playing right field, 
fumbled the ball and it rolled out 
into New Hampshire. Before he 
_ could recover the ball, California had 
dusted the pan and the game was 
over. Woody had won the pennant. 
Some game, believe me.

TOR TAKEN AS ONE EXAMPLE 
[From ‘‘Girard’s Topics of the Town’? in 
the Philadelphia Public Ledger. | 
Just fifty years ago a boy walked 
into the office of a leading Philadel- 
phia private banker and asked for a 
job. He got it and with it a salary of 
$16 a month. 
As he puts it today, “I wanted to 
make a little money,” and I betray no 
confidence of the income tax collector 
when I say that he has made it—even 
unto several times a little. 
The distance from newest office 
boy in a flourishing bank to senior 
partner in the firm of J. P. Morgan 
and the head of Drexel is very great, 
but Edward T. Stotesbury coverei 
that gulf in the even half century 
which has now elapsed since he en- 
tered the employ of Drexels. 
I say senior partner in the Morgan 
firm because since the elder Morgan 
died Mr. Stotesbury’s membership in 
the firm is of longer duration than 
that of any other partner. 
What made the boy advance more 
rapidly than other lads who fifty 
years ago found a new job in Phil- 
adelphia? JI heard Mr. Stotesbury 
answer that question himself. He 
said he was promoted as a youth be- 
cause he always knew a little bit more 
than the particular job he was hold- 
ing called for. 
You would-be Stotesburys of 1966 
harken to that suggestion and go 
profit by it! 
As To SHOPPING IN SALEM. 
The women of Salem and vicinity, 
who answered the recent letter sent 
out by Chairman George P. Lord of 
the Publicity Division of the Salem 
Chamber of Commerce, asking what 
the merchants of Salem could do to 
make shopping in Salem more agree- 
able and profitable to them, will 
probably be pleased to learn that their 
letters with the names of all stores 
inentioned and_= signatures deleted 
have been copied and bound in book 
form and are now going the rounds 
of the Salen merchants, who are 
carefully reading the same and as far 
as possible adopting the suggestions 
made and correcting the causes for 
the constructive criticisms given.
